replace enter with

okay, with my forum, i need it to replace an enter (line break) with a <br>, cause when its outputted, it ignores it otherwise. Anyone know how this would be done?

regards

Check out the nl2br function

or:
$mystring = "some stringn";
$mybrline = preg_replace("/n/", "n<br>", $mystring);

How about:

$replaced_string = str_replace(chr(13).chr(10), "<br>", $string);

Actually you should do this:

$message = ereg_replace("(rn|n|r)", "<br>",
$message);

Because Macintosh uses "r", Unix uses "n", and Windows uses "rn".

This is the easiest way.

$stuff = ereg_replace(13,"<br>",$stuff);

Who said there's only one way to skin a cat?

Thats ok to skin cats Just, please... No Cows.

You can also reverse it. Say you are editing the lines they will display in the text box as <br> <br> so just reverse it as it comes in
$stuff = ereg_replace("<br>",13,$stuff);

Then reverse it again when you write the edit it.

haha, jebus, so many things saying the same thing ;) i just used the nl2br() function, worked perfectly...

But there is not a function like br2nl only nl2br, so if you want to replace "<br>" with a carriage return you'll have to use ereg_replace

holy crap jorgen, your signature or something is totally rootin up this forum.,..lol, the whole bottom half of the page is marquee'ing..lol

haha, its fixed now
